by **xStarr_x3** Sun May 02, 2010 1:45 am

Believe.

Be-lie-ve
Be-lee-ve

I say it as "be-lee-ve", but I have heard it the first way. xD

by **HS7** Sun May 02, 2010 3:41 am

"Be-lee-ve." It's doesn't sound right to say 'lie' in it.

Lei

Do you say "lay" or "lee?"

by **Hazel** Sun May 02, 2010 6:24 am

be-lee-ve lol I've never heard it the first way Razz

Um well to me that's not a word Razz

on first sight I would guess that it was a name and say it Lee.

by **2bAgen.** Sun May 02, 2010 9:58 am

Be-lee-ve

I'd say that.... Lay.

by **BPahl88** Sun May 02, 2010 3:47 pm

Be-lee-ve

Isn't that a Hawiian necklace thing made of flowers or some sort? I say lee, but I know its pronounced lay. Happy

by **xStarr_x3** Sun May 02, 2010 5:14 pm

Yeah, it's a Hawaiian necklace.
Lay.

by **Hazel** Sun May 02, 2010 6:37 pm

OH yeah! I totally knew that! lol Well on first sight I'd still want to say lee.....but now that I remember well I'm not sure anymore

by **2bAgen.** Mon May 03, 2010 10:23 am

It's her surname too...
(should I have said that?)

How do you pronounce book?
I don't actually know how to write down how I pronounce it. It's kind of a cross between buk and buke and berk. /confused

by **Hazel** Mon May 03, 2010 9:02 pm

I prnounce it like everyone else? lol I don't know I say it exactly like it looks......

Do you say privacy like

Pri-vacy (saying the i as in is)

or

Pri-vacy (With a long i, as in ice)

by **xStarr_x3** Mon May 03, 2010 9:04 pm

Exactly how it looks? xD
Book.

I say it with the long i.

by **Hazel** Mon May 03, 2010 9:06 pm

Me too

by **BPahl88** Mon May 03, 2010 10:33 pm

Book? Like everyone else? But I'm sure is just your british accent that makes it sound like that. Happy

by **xStarr_x3** Tue May 04, 2010 8:29 pm

How do you say 'drawing'?

Dr-aww-ing
Dr-awr-ing

I say it the first way, but I have a friend who says it the second way. xD
Or any other variations?

by **Hazel** Tue May 04, 2010 10:40 pm

I say it the first way Razz

Do you say etc like:

Excet-tera

Exce-tra

Second way for me Razz

by **xStarr_x3** Tue May 04, 2010 11:11 pm

I say it like
Ex-a-tear-ia
xD

by **2bAgen.** Wed May 05, 2010 6:22 pm

Weird. Privacy with short i, but private with a long i.

Draw-ring

I say etc et-tc. It sounds weird but it's fun lol. But the whole word, I say EX-sec-tra. I've always found it hard pronouncing that though.
